Two bombs exploded on Friday close to the Baghdad headquarters of the Iraqi Communist Party, said a spokesman for the political alliance which alongside populist cleric Moqtada Sadr triumphed in elections earlier this month.
Three people were injured in the twin explosions, a police official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The attack is the first time a political party has been targeted in the Iraqi capital since the electoral campaign started in mid-April.
